Personal Narrative: My Six Sermons On Temperance
I started my career off as a Presbyterian minister and became a preacher at many other places. I wanted to move out west to spread more revival movements. I was know for being one of the best preachers and for my sermons. My view on temperance is that it is a sin and that all it does it makes you do stupid things. A merchant rented part of the church that I was working at the time was storing achloch in the lower level of the church. In this event the alcohol ignited and burned down in Boston . My Six Sermons On Temperance helped set a national movement to guard the mental help of Republicans.

    I never thought how interesting it would be to visit a different place of worship besides Christianity. Since the day I was born I’ve been a Christian and whatever anyone else believes in is wrong and that they are going to hell if they don’t believe in Christianity. About 3 years ago I visited the International Buddhist Progress Society a Buddhist temple in Naperville. Buddhism from what I learned looks more like a way of life or guidelines to it rather than a religion. Buddhism tells you how you could live life better but doesn’t scare you with the prospect of hell instead you live with ignorance. My own history with Christianity still made me doubt or fear the conquences of going to this temple. Part of me believed that I be punished by…

    The high rate of alcohol consumption prompted reformers to target alcohol which explains why it became the most popular reform movement. The Temperance Movement began in 1826 when Protestant ministers and other concerned with the high alcohol consumption rate founded the American Temperance Society. The Society persuaded alcohol drinkers to pledge to stop drinking. Politicians joined the Temperance Movement when they realized it would lower crime rates and higher employment with less people, mostly men, not drinking away their time at home (Doc…

    This morning I attended a weekday mass at All Saints Catholic Church. The church itself is relatively large from what I saw. The exterior had many well-tended trees and bushes, with a sign pointing to the office, and a cross about six feet tall out front by a cement walkway which led to the entrance. The building itself was a taupe color with dark brown roofing and glass doors leading at the entrance. As I walked through the glass doors I was not greeted by anyone, so I followed what everyone else was doing. I noticed a holy water font in front of the doors leading directly to the room of worship. I watched as the casually-dressed Parishioners, all aged at least sixty-five years, and mostly white, middle-class women dipped their fingers into the font and then made the sign of the cross, before entering the worship area.…

    Temperance reformers were mostly women and religious leaders. The temperance leader at this time was Lyman Beecher, talked about how intemperance was destroying our nation. He stated that intemperance was,”…continually transferring larger and larger bodies of men, from the class of contributors to the national income, to the class of worthless consumers...,” which meant that more men were taking away from the national then putting in. Other reformers created images to demonstrate how starting at a simple glass of this “demon rum” could lead to death or even suicide. Reformers such as Henry Clay Work wrote songs that at times…

I'm writing this to tell you about why I am a Nazarene Christian. The things I will be covering are wildlife, the spread of Christianity, and the planet Earth's perfect tilt.…

    The Temperance Movement sought to end the increasingly common issue of excessive drinking. Due to the social customs of the time, alcoholism consumed many individuals, mainly men. Drinking was “a basic part of men’s working lives”. (Faragher, p.438) Toasts were routine at work and at social gatherings alike for men. Women, who abstained from public drinking, and children were left to bear the consequent burdens. Economic affairs were controlled by men, making it easy for a family’s savings could easily be squandered on alcohol. Social status was, also, affected by drunkenness. Temperance supporters hoped to stop alcohol consumption and thus end these undesirable results.…

    My collage is Freedom of Religion, why I chose this freedom is because everyone has a religion, even though some people don’t choose to have a religion, it is important to them. ¨With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.¨ by Steven Weinberg. I chose this quote because anyone can have a religion it does not matter what kind of race they are, gender, or how they look. They choose what to believe in not what others believe in. Not everyone will believe in God, others may believe in something else and they cannot change that.…

    The Temperance Movement

    • 729 Words
    • 3 Pages

    While the movement successfully met their goal of national prohibition in 1920, it took three full waves of the temperance movement to do so. The first wave of temperance began in 1784 and lasted until 1861, and unlike the second and third wave movements, the first wave movement advocated for temperance and levelness instead of the complete abstinence from alcohol, which later proves to be problematic. Although history has it that the first wave of temperance was sparked by Benjamin Rush’s 1784 piece called “An Inquiry Into the Effects of Ardent Spirits Upon the Human Body and Mind,” it wasn’t until the mid 1820s that the resurgence of the first wave temperance movement brought along a renewed interest in religion. It was through this newly formed interest in morale and religion that gave way to the formation of the American Temperance Society in 1826. Moreover, it was also during this period of resurgence that we begin to see Protestant and Catholic churches join the movement and promote temperance. Unfortunately, however, the late 1830s gave way to a split within the movement that caused tensions between the moderates and the radicals as well as between the voluntarists and the prohibitionists. The ultimate blow to the first wave movement, however, was the commencement…

    The person I choice to interview this week just like last week is also someone I turn to when I am faced with questions and concerns regarding all of my biblical classes and sometimes just personal spiritual questions. That person is my pastor and my father in law who has been a southern Baptist preacher for over thirty years. Of those thirty years he has only been pastor of two churches both, which have been very successful while he was and is presently the pastor. When we talk about anything and everything overall we have a great relationship. I choose to interview him this week because I knew he would be able to show me the more experienced side of his ministry because of his years of serving the lord.…

Them and their sagged pants that looked like they had 100 pound weights in their pockets, disgusting.…
